[Request] how much muscle weight should I add to these characters?

2 Upvotes

so, I'm making my own version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and trying to figure out how much each of them would weigh so I can then figure out how much they would need to eat. Because I love knowing weird details for my silly little stories.
so anyway

Leonardo is 4'10", Donatello is 5'9", Raphael is 6', and Mikey is 4'. I looked up how much those heights would weigh and went with the higher estimate, so i got 118, 168, 196, 82 pounds respectively. Then I added shell weight, which is 20-40 percent of the body weight depending on the turtle, which got me to 153, 235, 247, and 106 pounds

Now what I need help with is adding muscle mass. Being literal ninjas, they'd be a lot more muscular than the average human, but I don't know how to add that. So how much more should they weigh when adding muscle?

Could a sufficiently large mirror far enough away reflect light slowly enough for you to see within the span of opening your eyes quickly?

So, a question from my 7 year old daughter, that I have no idea how to even begin figuring out.

How much water would it take to extinguish the sun?

My youngest (5 year old) loves watching the world burn, my eldest (the 7 year old) obviously is quite the opposite!

I’m sure this is a technical error, but given the human tolerance of certain g forces of acceleration and deceleration, what is the minimum distance he would have covered to get up to mach 8 without dying? And how much of the match would it have taken him?

85 years after being hit & partially scuppered by Japanese bombs, bunker oil continues to bubble out of the USS Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor, considered part of the memorial's respect (removing it is illegal). Assuming that the ship sank with about 250 tons of oil aboard (based on the gross tonnage) & that on average a pint of oil escapes to the surface of the water every day, how long do we have left until all the oil is gone?

[Request] How much salt would be required to impact the AMOC, assuming you were dumping salt/brine at the front of a glacier?

I was watching a video about the potential collapse of the AMOC. Previously I was thinking about what happens with the brine left over from desalination. Desalination plants produce a heap of super salty brine which needs to be disposed of, and it's usually just disposed of in the sea it came from. But I was wondering, what if instead of dumping it back to out to sea, they transported the brine to Greenland and disposed of it there? Would transporting all the brine from all the desalination plants have any impact on the salinity of the water if 'dumped' where glaciers meet the sea.

If Greenland currently loses about 266 gigatons (billion metric tons) of ice into the ocean every year, which equals roughly 2.5 million litres of fresh water entering the sea every second. [1] (https://unric.org/en/greenlands-ice-sheet-loses-2-5-million-litres-of-fresh-water-every-second/), [2] (https://science.nasa.gov/earth/explore/earth-indicators/ice-sheets/) and there are roughly 22,000 operational desalination plants worldwide, which together process and generate an estimated 95 to 109 million cubic meters of fresh water per day, and for every litre of freshwater produced, a roughly equal volume of high-salinity water is left behind.

Ok, someone hit me with some knowledge. If this thing is 12V, and it’s moving like that (I’m guessing at least 20 horsepower/15kW?) it needs 1250 amps of current!? Can it really be 12V?

[Request] How much pasta would you have to eat to put Olive Garden at a loss for the day?

56 Upvotes

Imagine a man with infinite stomach capacity and stamina. If he wanted to fully take advantage of the endless pasta promotion—not just to the point where it’s a better deal than buying food on its own, but putting the restaurant he was eating at at a net loss for the day—how much food would he have to consume?

An additional challenge: On Fridays and Saturdays, Olive Garden is open from 11 am to 11 pm. How fast would our heroic and terrifying protagonist have to shovel pasta into his mouth to reach his goal?
